"Looking at the sixth-month history, for the last two days
he's done fine," said general manager Ken Holland. "The first day, we had a
full practice, which was 50 minutes. (Thursday), was an hour and 50 and he did
half of it. When they had to flood the ice, he came off.

"We're bringing him along slowly. He's been out for six
months. We don't want any setbacks. He hasn't skated for two months. He's not
going to play (today). I think if we had a week of practice, maybe he would
have played in the scrimmage."

A scrimmage is the only item on today's agenda and Saturday
is an off-day before there are two workouts scheduled for the final two days of
the camp Sunday and Monday.

"He'll go back on (the ice) the last two days," Holland
said. "He plans to be out for the full practices. How has he done? He's done
OK. No setbacks.

"But I can tell you he's definitely not partaking in all
aspects of the camp by design."
